China is one of the United States' fiercest competitors for global hegemony. At least in economic terms. To achieve this, the country seems to be pursuing a strategy of limiting or even reducing its investments in the United States. Saudi Arabia, which has just joined the BRICS, also seems to be doing the same, further confirming its plans to leave the dollar behind.

Over the last 8 years, September has been the second-worst month in terms of bitcoin (BTC) performance. On average, bitcoin falls by 5% in September. Conversely, September is often a good opportunity. The end of the year often marks a powerful "Christmas effect", which is usually accompanied by a rise in cryptocurrency. But if studying the past sheds light on probabilities, it's worth looking at the indicators available on the bitcoin price.
Once upon a time, on October 28, 2021 to be precise, SHIB reached an ATH of $0.000 081. Since that day, this cryptocurrency has been on a long downward spiral, to the detriment of the Shiba Inu community. Many crypto traders believed that the advent of Shibarium would right this wrong. Three weeks on, but the SHIB bull run has yet to show its face. However, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, is said to have a solution, including the SHIB crypto burn. Zoom in!
As we enter the final months of the year on the financial markets, there may be a seasonal trend known as the end-of-year rally. This trend intensifies before the Christmas holidays. Let's take a look at bitcoin's behavior in the run-up to Christmas, and the factors that can influence its price.

There's a growing chorus insinuating that the American hegemon is threatened by the BRICS. But what's really going on?
Blockchain technology has attracted massive interest due to the relevance of the solutions it offers. As this interest grows, so does the need to improve the operational efficiency of blockchain networks. In response, Layer 2 scaling solutions have emerged as efficient options. This is particularly true for so-called Layer 1 blockchains such as Ethereum. Thanks to Layer 2 scaling solutions, the challenges associated with Layer 1 blockchains have now been overcome. However, the growing adoption of Layer 2 solutions has given rise to a complex and competitive landscape. A dynamic marked by the emergence of several projects proposing varied approaches to solving scaling problems. At a time when the market for Layer 2 solutions is facing numerous challenges, an analysis of the key dynamics of this market is essential.
As the SEC continues its hunt for crypto exchanges, the United States has decided to put the potential of stablecoins at the service of its economic policy. This is what can be deduced from a speech by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who acknowledges that stablecoins are a form of currency. Where does this sudden interest in stablecoins come from?
Over the week of August 14, the bitcoin price fell by almost 12%. This turnaround was all the more dramatic as major thresholds that could have inspired long-term confidence were broken. The price of bitcoin fell below the $26,000 mark. It had stabilized above this level since March 2023. In our previous analysis in July, we pointed out that “the $26,000 area appears to be a major zone at present, and the absence of a recovery in volatility on traditional indices will probably determine the next move”.
This is far from the expected effect for Shibarium. Normally, the advent of Shiba Inu's Layer 2 ETH blokckchain would give SHIB wings. But what's happening now is shattering the hopes of many crypto investors. What can be done about it? The Shiba community seems to have found a solution.

While Bitcoin continues to demonstrate its resilience, the scientific community is making revelations that are highly agitating the quantum threat. Researchers in South Korea and China have reportedly discovered an extraordinary superconductor called LK-99, a material that could be used to create quantum laptops capable of breaking BTC private keys very easily. If confirmed, this discovery could open a new page in the history of cryptography and sound the death knell for the world's most powerful cryptocurrency. Should this superconductor be considered a threat to cryptography? Answer.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the leading cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization. Thanks to its many assets, the digital asset outperforms all its competitors and is the preferred choice of many investors.

At the intersection of technology and finance, digital assets and blockchain are emerging as inescapable forces shaping our future. Indeed, from one sector to the next, these technologies are finding more relevant and innovative applications than ever before, promising a freer, more personalized future. But given current trends, what can we expect from the blockchain and crypto industry in the next 3 years? We've investigated the question for you.
Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has enjoyed a remarkable rise. The platform has established itself as the crypto ecosystem's benchmark for Layer 1 infrastructure. The company's leadership is nevertheless significantly contested. Indeed, with the increased dynamism of the technology market globally, new Layer 1 projects are regularly emerging. Their ambition is to rival or even dethrone Ethereum in this sector. To achieve this, these initiatives propose technological improvements. They also provide enhanced scaling capabilities. Operational advances that generally translate into lower transaction fees for users. In short, they want to do better than Ethereum. But can they? The truth is, it's extremely difficult to predict with any certainty which project(s) will be able to supplant Ethereum. Admittedly, many of these crypto initiatives are not lacking in relevance. However, this is without taking into account the vast operational network that Ethereum has built to establish its market dominance. With that in mind, we'll take a closer look at Layer 1 blockchain technology and the particularities of the one developed by Ethereum. We'll then compare some of the crypto industry's most popular Layer 1 projects with Ethereum's.Pour se faire, ces initiatives proposent des améliorations technologiques. Elles fournissent également des capacités renforcées de mise à l’échelle. Des avancées opérationnelles qui se traduisent généralement par la réduction des frais de transaction exigés des utilisateurs. En somme, elles veulent faire mieux qu’Ethereum. Mais peuvent-elles y parvenir ? À la vérité, il est extrêmement difficile de prédire avec certitude le(s) projet(s) en mesure de supplanter Ethereum. Il faut bien reconnaître que plusieurs de ces initiatives cryptos ne manquent pas de pertinence. Toutefois, c’est sans compter avec le vaste réseau opérationnel qu’Ethereum a construit pour asseoir sa domination sur le marché. Cela dit, nous reviendrons en substance sur la technologie blockchain Layer 1 et la particularité de celle développée par Ethereum. Il sera ensuite question de comparer certains des projets Layer 1 les plus populaires de l’industrie crypto à celle d’Ethereum.
